re: #71 Sir John Barron

I’m slowing listening to The Rise And Fall of The Third Reich on audible and I’m at the part where the author is describing how the Nazis took over the production and control of news and education. The way he describes how the rank and file citizenry just took all this in and reflexively parroted out the Nazi version of truth is a snapshot of today.

I used to think that Shirer’s COLLAPSE OF THE THIRD REPUBLIC was where we were (roughly speaking, no analogy is ever perfect, history stuttering, etc.) but we have now easily moved into the early chapters of RISE AND FALL. I can’t recommend reading these two books highly enough — if you haven’t already.
